Hey,
you could use the analyze API and the char\_filter to get the extract text
back in parts, see [HTML Strip charfilter test for ElasticSearch ยท GitHub](https://gist.github.com/clintongormley/780895)
However elasticsearch does not store the text without the HTML somewhere as
a complete block, which you could read out. If you want to do that, you
would need to do it before indexing.
The char\_filter is basically to make sure that a search for 'title' will
not include any web page which contains a '' tag.
Not a hundred percent sure if this was your question, so feel free to ask
further and where I might have misunderstood you.
